Born in Kyoto - His family supplied tunics for temples, so he was often in contact with works of art. His father and uncle were also painters. He wanted to become a painter, but due to his color blindness, he turned to sculpture. While studying, he learned the basics of wood carving and anatomy. He studied with Takashi Shimizu (a student of Bourdelle).
From 1937, he resided at the Atelier Village, a "little Montparnasse" in Nagasaki. He lived there until his death.
He primarily created works with mythological themes and was known for his realistic bronze sculptures.
